Inactivation of the Burkholderia Toxin Malleicyprol by Enzymatic Cyclopropanol Ring Opening

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are dangerous pathogens that cause severe diseases with high mortality rates. Their virulence relies in part on malleicyprols, potent toxins containing a highly reactive cyclopropanol group. In this study, we identify BurK, a heme‐dependent oxidoreductase that neutralizes malleicyprols by enzymatically ...
